How to Say ‘What do you recommend?’ in Traditional Chinese
你推薦什麼？
nǐ tuī jiàn shén me
[nǐ tuī jiàn shén me]
💬 Usage Tip: Question words stay where the answer would go, so 什麼 (shén me) "what" sits after the verb, just as an answer would: 我推薦牛肉麵 "I recommend beef noodles".
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: Asking this is welcome at small family-run shops, and staff will often point to their signature dish.
